"My Heart Boat Sails"

Listen Now!

This CD is a special jewel. The esraj is one of Sri Chinmoy's favorite instruments. Why? Because it expresses his own heart's aspiration, which soars, like a bird, towards the highest. The esraj has a very poetic, subtle and lyrical quality. The purity of a single melody ascending is unequaled.

The image of a boat sailing towards the Golden Shore of the Beyond is found often in Sri Chinmoy's poetry:

May my gratitude-heart-boat
Every day
Sail on my life's
Surrender-river.

O my boat,
O my aspiration-heart-boat,
Sail on, sail on, sail on!
Infinity is beckoning you.

May each day inspire me
To become a gratitude-surrender-seeker
And to remain in my Lord's
Golden Heart-Boat.

THE GOLDEN ONES
The golden Boat
Is beauty's speed.
The golden Shore
Is divinity's crown.
The golden Dream,
Reality dreams.
The golden Pilot,
Eternity claims.

We are grateful to Sri Chinmoy for this illumining and inspiring offering.
